11. Course 1 7-3 Proportions CROSS PRODUCTS Cross products in proportions are equal 3 5 __ 9 15 ___ = 4 8 __ 2 4 = 9 6 3 2 = 14 7 __ 2 1 = 8 2 =4 5 9 =3 15 16 = 16 45 = 45 6 3 =9 2 18 = 18 7 2 =14 1 14 = 14

12. Course 1 7-3 Proportions Additional Example 2: Using Cross Products to Complete Proportions Find the missing value in the proportion. 6n6n 6 ___ 5 6 __ n 18 __ = Find the cross products. 6 n = 5 18 The cross products are equal. 6n = 90n is multiplied by 6. 90 6 ___ = Divide both sides by 6 to undo the multiplication. n = 15

13. Course 1 7-3 Proportions Check It Out: Example 2 Find the missing value in the proportion. 5n5n 5 ___ 3 5 __ n 15 __ = Find the cross products. 5 n = 3 15 The cross products are equal. 5n = 45n is multiplied by 5. 45 5 ___ = Divide both sides by 5 to undo the multiplication. n = 9

14. Course 1 7-3 Proportions Additional Example 3: Measurement Application According to the label, 1 tablespoon of plant fertilizer should be used per 6 gallons of water. How many tablespoons of fertilizer would you use for 4 gallons of water? f 4 gal ____ 1 tbsp 6 gal _____ = Let f be the amount of fertilizer for 4 gallons of water. f 4 gal ____ 1 tbsp 6 gal _____ = Write a proportion. 6 f = 1 4The cross products are equal.

15. Course 1 7-3 Proportions In a proportion, the units must be in the same order in both ratios. Caution! tbsp gal ___ tbsp gal ___ = gal tbsp ___ gal tbsp ___ = or

16. Course 1 7-3 Proportions Additional Example 3 Continued f is multiplied by 6. Divide both sides by 6 to undo the multiplication. Write your answer in simplest form. 6f = 4 6f6f 6 ___ 4 6 __ = f = tbsp 2 3 __ You would use tbsp of fertilizer for 4 gallons of water. 2 3 __

17. Course 1 7-3 Proportions Check It Out: Example 3 According to the label, 3 tablespoons of plant fertilizer should be used per 9 gallons of water. How many tablespoons of fertilizer would you use for 2 gallons of water? f 2 gal ____ 3 tbsp 9 gal _____ = Let f be the amount of fertilizer for 2 gallons of water. f 2 gal ____ 3 tbsp 9 gal _____ = Write a proportion. 9 f = 3 2The cross products are equal.

18. Course 1 7-3 Proportions Check It Out: Example 3 Continued f is multiplied by 9. Divide both side by 9 to undo the multiplication. Write your answer in simplest form. 9f = 6 9f9f 9 ___ 6 9 __ = f = tbsp 2 3 __ You would use tbsp of fertilizer for 2 gallons of water. 2 3 __
